Fluffy Marshmallows



Recipe from Crunchy Creamy Sweet


What you need:

4 Tbsp water
4 TBsp corn syrup
12 TBsp granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
1 TBsp gelatin
2 Tbsp cold water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar for dusting






How you make them:

Line an 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Dust the bottom with powdered sugar, set aside.
In a medium saucepan, fitted with a candy thermometer, mix together water, corn syrup, and sugar.
Bring to boil, stirring occasionally, and boil until the thermometer shows 235˚F.
In the same time, place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl of an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water, let it sit for a few minutes.
When the sugar mixture reaches the 235˚F, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dissolved gelatin, whisk it together.
With the mixer running, slowly pour the hot mixture into egg whites.
Add the vanilla and continue whipping for at least 5-6 minutes.
Pour the marshmallow fluff into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
When ready, flip the marshmallow square onto a powdered sugar dusted surface and cut into small squares. 
Dust with some more powdered sugar to prevent sticking to each other.
Then ENJOY!
